There are in Georgia just half a dozen Re
| publicans who have sufficient influence with
their party to be regarded as leaders. Re
Gently they have displayed unusual activity.
| They have conferred with each other in At
lanta, in Macon, and perhaps in other lead
ing cities of the State. These conferences
have been quietly conducted, but their OBJ
iect has finally been disclosed by palrtici-
pant who was too full not to overflow.
According to his story am attempt
is TO be made to elect four
Republican Congressman in Georgia next
year, and also to carry the State for the
the Republican Presidential candidate. The
four districts in which it is proposed to
make fight are tine Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Tenth. The half dozen leaders already
mentioned, who declare that they have been
patiently watching and waiting" profess
to believe that i'll these four districts they
will have considerable white Republican
vote, the entire negro vote, and by no
means a small vote from Democrats who
favor a protective tariff. The hope
of carrying the State for the Republican
Presidential ticket is based upon the belief
by the Democrats, and that his alleged I'M
popularity in Georgia will cause a small vote
to be polled for him. By bringing out the
full white Republican vote, the negro vote,
and the Democratic vote supposed to be OPP
posed to President Cleveland, the Republi-
can managers claim that major
ity for their national candidates win be the
result. Mr. Blaine is expected to be
the Republican Presidential candidate, and
already one of the above half dozen
leaders has visited the Maine statesman to
advise with him concerning the scheme that
has been concocted Mr.. Blaine must have
given cheering advice, for the leader in
question declares that 1--WE intend to throw
the Democrats by a move that will leave
them breathless ="
There is not the slightest prospect of Re
publican success in Georgia, and the pretty
scheme so carefully prepared is doomed to
collapse The Seventh district was once
doubtful, but now, outside of Barlow
county, it is strongly Democratic The
Fifth, Sixth and Tenth districts are solidIy
Democratic, and Republican candidates
would be buried out of sight in them In the
four districts there are comparatively few
Democrats who favor a protective tariff. We
venture the assertion that if a meeting of
such Democrats were called the number that
would respond would be so small
as to excite nothing but ridicule AS to
President Cleveland, he is supported by
twenty of the twenty-one daily newspapers
published in the State, and by all the Demo-
cratic weeklies This is evidence of his
popularity, and further evidence may be
found in the fact that the Democratic vot-
ers of the State never utter a complaint
against him. If he is nominated next year
Georgia will give him an overwhelming
majority.
The Republican party in Georgia is dead,
and there is no probability of its resurrec-
ton. The half a dozen leaders who are
spending money and wasting time in run
ming about the State to confer with each
other would find it more profitable to stay
at home and let politics alone

subject, the other day, Mr.. Faulkner lost
his temper and exclaimed ''See here, Egg

The Boston Girls Idea of Heaven.

Some people have the queerest ideas of heaven
but after Miss Phelps peculiar views of the I'M
movable nothing eXtravagant astonishes the
agnostic or the full-hedged believer. The most
realistic vision of the future state to which we
are all.tending was revealed TO me last Saturday
Two rather pretty girls were snuggfed into a
corner of the car that happened TO take. and
as the only vacant strap dangled above
their heads l had to hold on 10

n third person. However, l shan't give the girls
any uneasness by repeating what was not in
tended for publication, but one remark made by
the prettier of the two struck me with particli-
lar force, it was so deliciosly frivolous. "Well,

Bright Men Who Will Lose Their Jobs.
From the Chicaao Mol.


John n Abbott, who only q few weeks ago
was taken from a lucrative position on one of
the branch lines and given commissiOnership
of one of the pools by the Western roads, wilt.
of course, be out of job on April ). So will all
the other pool commissioners, including Midg-
ley, who gets $4,000; Blanchard who gets
$4,000; Fink, who gets S25 900: Richardson,
who gets $500 and scores of others scattered
all over the country. Abbott, when he gave I'D
his place, demanded a five-year contract with
the roads making up his pool, at $4,000 a year.
and they gave it to him. Most of the other
high-priced commissioners also have contracts
Now, what will the roads do with all these high
priced men? Will they let some of their own
officers, who have no contracts, go to make room
for these commissioners, who win have to be
paid whether they have anything to do or notY
Then there are probably $4,000 railroad clerks
working in the offices of the different pools over
the country who will all be set adrift. Railroad
employees have had pretty easy time of il for
years, no matter whether the roads paid divi-
dends or not, but it really looks as if some
thousands of these railroad clerks would be
walking this summer.

A WAVE OF SOAP SUBS.
Strange Scenes on Mysterious Lake
in the Nevada Mountains.

From the Virginia city Enterprise.
Mono Lake is full of soda, borax and other
minerals in solution. The waters of both Owens
and Mono lakes is natural detergent. The
dirtiest and greasiest of clothing is made clean
in half minute by simply rinsing the article in
the lake. 1t fathers naturally when agitated.
When there is high wind wall of suds three
or four feet in height is seen along that shore
upon which the waves beat. This quivering
wall-in which are seen all the colorS
of the rainbow and as many beau
ties as are shown by the kaleido-
scOpe-would grow to a height of ten or twelve
feet before topping over, but that when it at
tains a certain height the winds catches it up
and watts great balls of it far inland Some of
these floating balloons of lather are as big as
flour barrel. AS the prevailing winds are from
the west, "a. vegetation on the western shore of
the lakes is killed for distance of many rods.
When there are unusually high winds the balls
of suds are blown SO far inland as to reach
clumps of willows and other bushes the leaves
of which are then seen to be scOrched as though
by fire. The water, just as it comes from the
lakes, would make an excellent shampoo for the
use of BARRIERS; and the solid matter resulting
from evaporation would make fine washing
powder for laundry use,

A new Jean D'Arc has arisen in France,
but so far she has failed to gather many fol
lowers under her standard. Her name is
Marie Costierg. She is Of humble origin,
but seems to be fairly well educated She
processes great piety, and claims that an
angel told her that her mission was to "save
France" by bringing about the return of
the expelled Princes At Paris she bought
$1,000 worth of furniture and forgot to pay

The Next Ten Years.

From 1865 until 1877 most f~tha, news
papers in the South paid but little attention
to any other subject than politics This
was not unnatural, because theyldnhappy
political condition of the South was m alb
sorbing interest. A struggle for political
rehabilitation was going on, and it was
generally believed that there could be no
substantial prosperity until the State gov
ernments were wrested from the con-
troll of uneducated negroes and
dishonest carpet-baggers. In 1916
it was hoped that good government would
be restored to all the Southern States by the
election of Mr.. Tilden to the Presidency,
but the hope was not realized. Nevertheless,
in the succeeding year the reign of the negro
and the carpet-bagger ended, and politics at
once became secondary concern. In all
parts of the South the newspapers began to
call attention to the necessity of material
development, and in 1873 the good effect
was already apparent.
1t is now ten years since the Southern
States began in earnest the work of develop
ing their material resources, and the result is
all that could be desired The increase in
wealth has been wonderful New railroads
have been constructed, mines opened, fur
naces established, and even new cities have
sprung into existence and grown with aston
ishing rapidity Business in all its branches
has prospered, and scores of men who in 1877
had nothing are now the possess
ors of fortunes. The South is
no longer ''fenced in to itself,n
4
opened her gates to all the world In the
great financial centres of the North the
South attracts almost as mitch attention as
the West, and Northern capital is always
ready for investment in honest Southern en-
terprises.
What is in store for the South during the
next ten years' 1t is not hazarding too
much to say that the most remarkable de-
velopment ever witnessed in this country
is in store. The Southern people
will always take proper interest
in politics, but they will not become so
deeply interested as to let it be their first
concern. Their energies will be devoted to
their material interests They mean to
make their section the equal of others in
wealth, and they by no means intend to
neglect their higher interests. At the end
of the next ten years they will have better
schools and better colleges, and ignorance
viii be greatly decreased.
In the work they have in hand the South.
ern people will gladly accept aid. They will
welcome the thrifty from all parts Of the
world They will be especially glad to
welcome immigrants from the North and
West whatever may be their politics. But
whether their numbers are swelled by inn
migration or not, the Southern people are
determined to place their section abreast
with the North and West.

Where the Monument Belongs.

Why should any Union soldier who faced and
beat back Pickett's division at Gettysburg OBJ
Ject to placing the monument concentrating
this event at the spot where the Confederates
approached nearest the Union lines? OF all
places that is the spot to put it. There was the
turning point of the war. There was the high
water mark, and there the magnificent bravery
OF the most splendid attack and repulses in the
history of war reached its climax. Here, then,
both Union and Confederate soldiers can meet
on common ground of utmost bravery. The
spot is historic. 1t ought to be dedicated in
honor of both sides who battled there.

favor of this change is based upon the
assumption that it would be more con.
venient for the pensioners to receive their
money from the government as their
monthly bills become due. The pensioner
who receives IS month and lives in rooms
or In house rented for that sum would
gladly devote it to his payments on that
account, as matter Of convenience to
himself as well as to other parties
